Let’s rule out the most common scenario: there might be a simple app crashing issue, so the trick that will work for you in such a case is to clear the cache and data. You know that the reason cached data exists is to improve the loading time, but there is also a downside of this and it has to do with the fact that it gets corrupt all the time:

From the Home screen, tap the Apps icon;

Enter into Settings;

Touch Applications and then Application manager;

Swipe to ALL tab;

Up next, find and touch Messages;

Touch the Force Close button first;

Then, tap Storage;

Tap Clear cache;

Then, choose to tap Clear data, Delete.

Keep in mind that we are talking about a pre-installed app, so its crashing could have another fix too. To be more precise, the Messages app is embedded in the firmware natively, so hard resetting your device could save the day.
